CAROL OF THE HARPS (Harp Twins) Camille and Kennerly

"We re-arranged 'Carol of the Harps' especially for our new Holiday/Christmas album, Winter Lights! We wanted to give it a bit of a mysterious and haunting vibe and we absolutely loved how our arrangement turned out. We also wanted to spice up our arrangement and make it a bit more complex, so there are quite a few different sections and intertwined melodies. We especially love the section starting at about 2:20 in the music video because we arranged it in a way where it starts with a single 'bell' line and then we keep adding layers of notes to create different sounds. Everything you hear in our arrangement is exactly how we perform it live with our 2 harps: no backing tracks, loops, or extra harp tracks. We wanted the listener to feel like they were standing in an old city street and could hear bell towers and chimes from cathedrals all over the city. We spent a lot of time thinking what the perfect location for our arrangement would be, and we were so thrilled to have the opportunity to film again at the magnificent Sanfilippo Estate 'Place de la Musique' in Illinois. We felt like Christmas dolls in a magical dollhouse." -The Harp Twins, Camille and Kennerly
